Rosa Mary Jackson, 83, went to sleep Thursday afternoon, November 16, 2006, at 4:15 p.m. in the Healthwin Specialized Center.

She was born to the union of Andrew and Nancy (Crowder) Hoskins on February 11, 1923, in Sumner, Mississippi. She moved to Clarksdale, Mississippi, where she attended school. She was united in marriage to Mr. Bland Jackson on August 6, 1941. To this union three children were born, Gregory Donald, Michael Ray and Blandette Rose.

She lived in Columbus, Georgia, where her husband was stationed during his World War II tenure in the armed services. She moved to South Bend, Indiana, where she became a member of Saint John MB Church where she was also a member of the Fellowship Club.

Rosa was a devoted housewife and mother. She will always be remembered as a GIVER: she gave, gave her best. The children on Elmer Street during the time of their children growing up will remember her for birthday cards, cookies and popcorn balls.
